The Kalashnikov AK-47 is the most ubiquitous assault rifle in the world; with more AK-47s and its variants in use than any other individual small arm. Created by Senior Sergeant Mikhail Kalashnikov; and first adopted by the USSR soon after World War II (1939-1945); its production continues to this day; with an estimated 75 million produced worldwide. It is the longest serving post-World War II military weapon and its ease of use; durability and low production costs ensure that its use will continue for generations to come. This book takes a look at the complete history of the weapon; discussing its design; development; and usage; taking its story from the great armies of the Soviet Union to the insurgents and criminal gangs that often employ the weapon today.
